Veteran actor Yatin Karyekar, who worked with the director in &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/bajirao-mastani\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bajirao Mastani<\/a>&#8216;, recently shared his experience of working under Bhansali, recalling both the filmmaker&#8217;s strict nature and the lighter moments he shared with co-star <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/ranveer-singh\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ranveer Singh<\/a>.Speaking to Siddharth Kannan, Karyekar revealed that he and Ranveer developed a close friendship during the shoot, though they were careful not to let their fun interfere with work.He said, \u201cMe and Ranveer were like buddies. We hit it off really well. We were having a dhamaal on set. Sanjay ji is very strict, so not in front of him. But when we used to sit alone, it was pure fun. He (Sanjay Leela Bhansali) is a bit too much strict. The director is God for me.\u201dKaryekar also recounted witnessing Bhansali lose his temper with actor Aditya Pancholi during filming. According to him, Pancholi had been reprimanding a junior artiste when the director intervened.\u201cI once saw him yelling at Aditya Pancholi. Aditya was scolding some junior artiste, so Sanjay shouted loudly, \u2018You shut up Aditya.\u2019 It was not nice. I have heard a lot of instances about his temper. When a senior artiste wasn\u2019t able to do a step, he threw a chair at her. He has broken many mobiles and mics. I was quite ready for all this. Aditya was shocked. He was not expecting that,\u201d he added.Despite recalling Bhansali&#8217;s fiery temperament, Karyekar was full of praise for the filmmaker&#8217;s creative abilities, placing him among the industry&#8217;s finest directors.\u201cHe is a genius, a creative genius. If there are two pillars in the industry \u2013 its him and Rajkumar Hirani. Both have different working styles. One doesn\u2019t even realise they are on a set in Raju\u2019s film. Everything is cool, calm. There\u2019s no tension. Everybody is smiling,\u201d he concluded.Released in 2015, &#8216;Bajirao Mastani&#8217; starred Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra Jonas in lead roles. The historical drama emerged as both a critical and commercial success, earning widespread acclaim for its performances, music and grand visual scale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sanjay Leela Bhansali has often been described by actors as a demanding filmmaker who strives for perfection on&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":521981,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[238856,49875,238855,53858,146,238857,85,46,397,78480,14446,23941,223516],"class_list":["post-521980","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-actor-yatin-karyekar","tag-aditya-pancholi","tag-bajirao-mastani","tag-bollywood-director","tag-entertainment","tag-filmmaking-temperament","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-movies","tag-rajkumar-hirani","tag-ranveer-singh","tag-sanjay-leela-bhansali","tag-yatin-karyekar"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/521980","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=521980"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/521980\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/521981"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=521980"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=521980"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=521980"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
